Article Synopsis
  • Homocysteine (Hcy) levels, increased during cardiac ischemia, were hypothesized to correlate with heart remodeling and dysfunction in patients undergoing CABG surgery.
  • The study measured total homocysteine and cardiac troponin-I levels in plasma and pericardial fluid, along with various echocardiographic parameters in patients with ischemic hearts.
  • Results showed positive correlations between Hcy levels and heart dimensions while inverse correlations with heart function, suggesting Hcy is a significant biomarker in chronic myocardial ischemia and cardiac remodeling.
